A North Carolina couple who lost their two sons in a 2015 car crash welcomed twin boys Monday afternoon.

Hadley and Gentry Eddings named their healthy babies Isaiah Dobbs and Amos Reed, according to WBTV. Their middle names are the names of their older brothers who were fatally injured in that tragic wreck.

Their 2-year-old son, Dobbs Eddings, died instantly in the crash, and Reed Eddings died two days later after being delivered at 38 weeks by emergency cesarean.

Matthew Deans, 28, was sentenced to 1 to 3 years in prison after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the wreck. Investigators said he was driving while distracted.

The Eddings drew public attention when they decided to publicly forgive Deans.

After an emotional in-court apology from Deans, the Eddings told him: "We hope to be holding hands with you in heaven with our children,” according to WWAY.

"Y'all have held us up in prayer and we are so grateful! Now we ask you to add two more Eddings to your prayers! We are expecting twins this summer!," Hadley Eddings wrote, posting a picture of a sonogram.

Gentry is a campus pastor and Hadley teaches 4-year-olds at Charlotte’s Forest Hill church. The two have been outspoken about relying on their faith to get them through the tragedy of losing their children.

Their inspirational story has been shared widely and more than $200,000 was raised via a GoFundMe page created to help the family pay medical bills.
